Siri Shortcuts App NOT Working? Try this:

Dan Uff November 29, 2018 0

Recently, I was having trouble with the new Siri Shortcuts app crashing on my iPhone 7 Plus, and then on my new iPhone XS Max.

After asking around in the Apple Customer Support forums, here's a possible solution:

Go to Settings > General > Language & Region.
Select iPhone Language.
Select English (US).
Select Done.
Select Change to English (US).
The iPhone will change to English (US).
That's it.

The problem is said to be within the app looking for the English (US) option when it executes.

It didn't work for me, but hopefully it will for someone else.
